Every camera connected to Angelcam includes a free status monitoring feature. We continuously check the connection status of your cameras, and if one goes offline, we’ll notify you, so you can act quickly and stay in control.
How It Works
We perform three types of health checks to ensure your cameras are monitored reliably:
Regular checks for all cameras
Every camera is checked every 10–20 minutes.
If a camera is offline during a check, it is marked as offline.
Immediate checks for cameras connected via Angelcam Connector
Cameras connected through AngelBox, Axis, or Angelcamera are monitored almost instantly.
Disconnections are detected right away, without waiting for the 10–20 minute cycle.
Checks for cameras with enabled recording
For cameras with recording enabled, we also detect disconnections immediately.
Notifications
When a camera is detected as offline, we wait a few minutes before sending a notification.
This prevents unnecessary alerts caused by short, temporary glitches.
Notifications can be sent via push notification or email.
You can configure additional notification channels and recipients.
Angelcam uses two types of monitoring depending on your camera setup:
Port forwarding
You’ll receive a notification if the connection is lost for 20 minutes or more.
How to set it up
We’ve made it easier and more flexible to manage your camera status notifications using the Notifications tab in the top menu of your Angelcam dashboard.
Step-by-Step:
Go to your Angelcam dashboard and click on the Notifications tab in the top menu.
In the left-hand menu, select Camera Notifications.
Click “Add Rule” to create a new notification rule.
Choose the event type (e.g., camera goes offline or comes back online).
Select the cameras you want to monitor.
Choose your notification method: push notification, email, or both.
Add the recipients who should be notified.
